THE MASS WAE MEETING.
The Grand Mass War Meeting held in this place,
on Saturday evening last, waa the largest ever con
vened-in this place, and plainly exhibited the'loy-
altv and patriotism of the toiling masses of our
mountain city and surrounding vales. Merchants
dosed their stores and mechanics their shops, and
with a few exceptions—Wery few, we ate glad to
say—business -was entirely suspended. Long pre
vious to the hour announced for opening the meet
ing, peop|e began to assemble, and upon the ringing
of the shop and church bells, they came in crowds
from even- quarter. Soon the ladies bad occupied
every seat arranged for their accommodation, and
many were compelled to stand. Annie street, from
Main to Virginia streets, was densely packed and
the windows of the Masonic Temple, the roofs of
adjoining buildings and the the Logan House yard
fence were filled with men and boys. The space
occupied would hold at least three thonsandpeopte.
The committee of Arrangements had erected a
platform for the officers, speakers and musicians in
front of the Masonic Temple, which was decorated
with a number of large and small flags, and lighted
up with gas and lanterns; but, considering the
crowd, there should have been two stands for speak
ers, as it was impossible for those on the outside
of the crowd to hear the first addresses.
Shortly after seven o’clock the Altoona Brass
Hand appeared on the ground and performed one
or two airs, after which the meeting was called to
order Dr. by Wm. R. Findley, when the following of
lii-crs were nominated and unanimously elected:
President,

Previons to taking his seat the President made
a lew remaks, stating the object of the meeting,
referring to the call of the President for more men
lo crush out rebelion and appealing to the patriot
ism of the people to sustain the Executive andWe
the Union. He concluded by introducing to the
audience John Scott, Esq., of Huntingdon/ '
The remarks of Mr. Scott were brief and to the
point. He presented the reasons why the govern
ment should be sustained and the will of the ma
joriry be the law of the land, in clear and convin
cing arguments, and appealed to the people to
stand by the President. He believed the Presi
dent to be honest in all his intentions and actions,
and to be laboring for the gpod of the country.
He closed with a patriotic qppeltl to the people to
enlist in defence of the stars and stripes, arid dep
recated the thought that 21,000,000 of freemen
should be compelled to treat with less titan five
millions of traitors. His address was prononced.
excellent, and he retired from the stand amid
sliouts of applause.
At the conclusion of Mr. Scott's address the com
mittee on resolutions, through their Chairman,
Wm. H. Wilson, Esq., presented the following se
nes, which were unanimously adopted:
Whkeeas, the Government of the United States
has deemed it necessary to call ont more force, for
tnc purpose .of speedily crushing the formidable re
bellion, which has so far defied the efforts made
! or suppression: and Whereas, the alternative
LS now presented to us to look on with indifference
until our Government is prostrated, and our homes
and properties exposed to the ravages of war, and
the exactions of a merciless foe, or by a prompt
and manly contribution Of ourselves and our means,
to quell at once and forever, ; the spirit of insubor
dination and recklessness that has brought tear and
desolation with all their attendant consequences
upon a hitherto peaceful and happy land. There-
Retained, That it is the duty of even - citizen to
respond promptly to the appeal, and to sustain by
r? “ e means in his power, the constituted author
ess of the land.
Resolved, That we do hereby declare oar nn
and firm devotion to the gloripns Union
" nich has been bequeathed to ns by our forefathers,
onu opr determination to maintain it inviolate un
j. r ad circumstances, against domestic traitors and
Retained, That this is no time for the indulgence
,1 feelings or political prejudice, but that,
Ppmg eveir other contdderatipn, we will knew
.u?,® but that of our country, and, standing
anit .to shoulder, we will with unbroken front

government and laws.

. when their country requires their ser-
vices, and (hat Blair county will not be last in the
field. ; ‘ ;
Remiced, That in order to securer he early com
pletion of the qnota required from this county, and
to fijl vacancies in existing regiments with the least
possible delay, an earnest appeal be made to those
who, from various circumstances, arc unable to ren
der personal service, to contribute according to their
means to a fund,for the benefit of volunteers.
Ramivid, Thdt the Commissioners of the Coun-
ty be'respectfully requested to appropriate such
amount of money, as in / their judgment may be
proper, to be distributed among the volunteers who
may enlist from this county Under the recent re
quisition of the President,-i» addition to the Gov
ernment bounty.
Resolved, That an Executive Committee of four
persons be appointed, to whom shall be added the
Chairman of this meeting. The said Committee
to elect a Chairman and Secretary out of their own
unmber. The duty of the Copunittee shall be to con
fer with similar Committees from other ports of the
county, to control the disposition of the funds col-
to perform snch other duties as may be
necessary to accomplish the object of this meeting.
Resolved, That a Committee be appointed of two
persons from each Ward, whose duty it shall be
to take up subscriptions in aid of the Volunteers’
Fond. The amoHpts as collected to be deposited with
the Banking Hbuse of Wm. M. Lloyd & Co., and
to be drawn out only by the checks of the Chair
man of the Executive Committee, countersigned
by the Secretary.
Resolved, That as it is very desirable to secure
uniformity of action throughout the county, it be
recommended to the bther boroughs and townships,
to collect subscriptions and appoint Executive Com
mittees, the Chairman of which shall confer with
each oilier and wjtb the county authorities, for the
purpose of adopting such measures as may best pro- i
mote the objects in view.
On motion, the President was authorized to ap
point the committees referred to.
After the Glee' Club had sung u Columbia the
Gem of the Ocean,” the President introduced Hon.
L. W. Hall, of this place, who proceeded to address
the audience. He referred to the barbarities prac
tised upon our dead soldiers by the rebels ; to the
drafts and conscription acts wherebjatbe leaders of
the rebellion have placed their last army in the
field ; to the desperation of their cause, and their
attempt to secure foreign interference, and urged
the people to rise in their might and crush out
treason and rebellion now and forever, and show
the world that we are as able to crush rebellion at
home as to protect ourselves against foreign pow
ers. On closing he jvas loudly cheered.
At this point the President announced that he
had appointed the following named gentlemen on
the Executive Committee, viz Messrs. Chas. J.
Mann, John Woods, James Lowther, Charles R.
McCrea.
The next speaker introduced was Hon. Samuel
Calvin, of HolKdoysburg. We did not hear his
opening remarks, but as he proceeded with his ad
dress he successfully argued that slavery, while it
was made the pretext for rebellion, was not the
real canse, that it was the scheme of a number of
monied aristocrats; to form a monarchial govern
ment, and that, according to their own admissions,
they had been engaged in schooling the public
mind to that end for .the last thirty years. He had
no idea that there would be any foreign interven
tion.* v
The Brass Band then performed a. National
medley, after which the Rev. W. L. Spottswood,
of tqis place, was introduced. He referred to the
peaceable character of his mission, thfi of exhort
ing men to live in peace, but his religion also
taught that men should obey the rulers placed over
them, and that inasmuch as wicked men had at
tempted to destroy this, the best and most liberal
Christian form of government the world had ever
seen, he considered it his duty to lend his voice
and countenance in .its support, and thus blend
State and Church in one grand, effort to crush out
the destroyers of our peace and happiness.—
“ Never or now” he made the watchword, and ap
pealed with power -to the patriots of Altoona and
vicinity to buckle on; the sword and shoulder the
musket, and throw themselves into the breach, «nH
preserve to their children that which has been
handed down to us.. -
He was follewed by D. J. Neff, Esq., of this
place, in a speech at once argumentative and elo
quent. He clearly proved the impossibility of a
separation of the states, and the location of a di
viding line; showing how such action would be
productive of interminable strifes between the
States, bordering on the line,—that the acknowl
edgment right of one state to secede gave
the same rHp to all States, and that should the
cotton states be Allowed to pass from under the
control of the Federal government, any state in the
North might do the same, and we would soon be
divided into petty goremments and become an easy
prey to the cormorants of the Old World. In
concluding he appealed with much eloquence to
the able-bodied-men of the assembly to enlist in
the service of their country and roll back the tide
of rebelion, crush out the traitors, and add still
greater glory to the already world wide respected
ensign of our nationality.
The “ Star Spangled Banner” was then sang by
the Glee Club and the President introduced Capt.
(late Lieutenant) H. H. Hopkins, of the 110th
Beg. Fa. -Vols. The appearance of a live soldier
on the platform was the signal for a hearty round
of applause. Order being restored, Capt. H. pro
ceeded to address the audience, first telling the
people that he was no public speaker, and that he
would rather act than speak, but as he had been
called ont, be would do the best he coold. He re
ferred to the hardships and privations that the sol
diers of the ilOtfa and 84th regiments had been
called upon to endure during the post winter, such
as sleeping on fence-rail beds, in the mud without
rails under them, and finding themselves or their
blankets froze fast in the morning—of the fight at
Winchester which sent several Of his companions to
their long home and in which he received a wound
that sent him to the hospital at Philadelphia—
of the kindness be there received at the hands of
the ladies, and many other matters which wo can
not,here refer to.' He urged the men of Altoona
to enlist in defence of their country and avenge
the murder of the gallant Cols. Murray and Black.
He did not come to indnee them to enlist in his
company, be wanted them to fill up Capt. Slink's
company and then, if there were any left, he would
take them, and he would never ask them to go
where he would not lead them. He appealed to
the young men particularly to fill up the decimated
ranks of the army and not let those who have a?- 1
ready fallen, have been sacrificed in vain. We
cannot give to his remarks the earnestness with I
which they were delivered, because he felt what he :
said. He had suffered in the cause and was
ready to suffer still more if needs be. Though not I
the best in diction it was undoubtedly the most ef- ;
feetive speech of the occasion. Three vociferous i
cheers were given hltn as be left tipi standi
Addrewes were also delivered by. S, M. Wood-
kok. Esq., Rev. S. Kephart and M. H. Jolly, Esq.,
which are pronounced highly creditable and pat
riotic to those gentlemen, yet as we did not hear
them entire we cannot particularize. What effect
the meeting will have, in the way of stimulating
enlistments, we cannot say at present. It was
certainly a patriotic demonstration, but whether
the: patriotism exhibited goes any further than
turning out to such meetings we must wait to dis
cover. •
While noticing the more important part of the
proceedings, we would not forget to make favora
ble mention of the Altoona .Brass Hand and the
Glee Club. Their music was truly patriotic, and
admirably executed, and served to fill up the in
tervals, between the addresses, in a most pleasant
manner. The Glee Club did exceedingly well,
considering the short time they had practiced, and
Holder’s string band was quite on acquisition.
poetry of war has a vastly different ring
now-a-days, from what it had when extensively
copied and applied to the marshalling of political
parties, previous to an election. There is a reality
about it now which sinks into the soul and leaves
indcllible impressions on the memory. The fol
lowing possesses consiberable of the romantic and
yet much of truths and expresses the sentiments of
our people-:
We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred
thousand more,
From Mississippi's winding stream, and from New
England's shore;
We leave our plows and work shops, our wives aud
children dear,
With hearts too full for utterance, with but a si
lent tear;
We dare pot 'look behind us, but steadfastlv be
fore—
We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred
thousand more!
If you look across the hill-tops that meet the
Northern sky,
Long, moving lines of rising dust your vision mav
descry;
And now the wind, an instant, tears the cloudy
veil aside,
And floats aloft our spangled flag in glory and in
pride;
And bayonets in the sunlight gleam, and bands
brave music poor—
We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred
thousand more!
If you look up all your valleys, where the growing
harvests shine. *
You may see the sturdy farmer boys last forming
into line;
And children from their mother's knees are pul
ling at the weeds,
And learning how to reap and sow, against their
country’s needs;
And a farewell group stands weeping at every cot
tage door—
We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred
thousand more! #
You have called us, and we’re coming, hy Rich
mond’s bloody tide
To lay us down for freedom's sake, our brothers’
bones beside;
Or from foul treason’s savage grasp to wrench the
murderous blade,
And in the face of foreign foes its fragments to pa
rade.
Six hundred thousand loyal men and true have
gone before—
We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred
thousand more!
The Recruiting Business. —There are some
five or six companies being recruited in this county,
and all of them meeting with tolerable success.
Capt. Jacob Szink is endeavoring to push his
company ahead in this place, but we are soriy to
say that enlistments are not as rapid as they should
be. He has now some 25 or 30 men enrolled, but
when ,we consider the number of young single
men in this place, we think his company should be
filled up before Saturday evening. Why should
men delay when they are so badly needed ?
Capt. F. M. Bell, of Tyrone, is succeeding ad
mirably in getting up his company. He has over
fifty men sworn in, and expects to have his full
complement by Saturday next.
Lieut. John McKeage is exerting himaelf to get
up a company in Hollidaysburg, and, we are glad
to hear, is meeting with much encouragement.
Capt. Crisaman is recruiting in Martinsburg and
vicinity, aud expects to fill up his company in a
short time.
Col. Higgins has enlisted almost a full company
in Williamsburg
Capt. Ip. H. Hopkins and Lieut. M. H. Jolly
ate recruiting a company for the 110th regiment,
and are getting along finely, baying, as we learn,
recruited about forty men. Their head-quarters
are at Tyrone City.
Should all these companies be filled up, and we
expect them to be, “little Blair” will have fur
nished 400 more men than her quota under the
late call, and 200 more than her quota to fill up old
regiments, and. will have some 1700 men in the
field. There most be no drafting in “little Blair.”
At Hoke. —Lieut. S. C. Potts, of company M,
62d, reg., Pa. Vols., arrived at his home, in this
place, on; Monday evening last, on sick furlough.
He had been unwell for some time previous to the
late engagements before Richmond, bnt on learn
ing that Capt. Crozier had been wounded he ap
peared on' the field and took charge of' the com
pany. The task was too much for his weakened
constitution and he was again prostrated, a fur
long wan then granted him to allow him to enjoy
the attentions of his friends in hopes that he would,
recover mote speedily. We hope he shall soon be
able to join bis company again.
Our army correspondent, W. I. Blain, has been
with us for a few days past, on a ten days’ fur
lough, for the benefit of his health. As we have
said before, he is connected with the printing office,
at General Jl’Clellan’s head-quarters. While he
knows much in reference to the Army of the Po
tomac, we know bnt little through him, as it is not
bis business to tell.
Good fob ouk Cocstv Commissioners, —lt
will be seen by reference to our correspondent’s
report of the War Meeting at Hollidaysburg, that
the County Commissioners bare negotiated a loan
of $20,000, to which $2,000 was added by an in
dividual, for the purpose of paying a bounty of $23
to eveiy man that enlists for nine months, $3O for
twelve months, and 30 for three years, How,
young men, you who have been holding back to
see the bounty secured, you see it is certain, there
fore “ pitch in” at once.
Another Soldier Dead.—George" L. Flack,
of this {dace, died on Tuesday, 22d inst., aged 42
years. He served in the three months’service,
and afterwards joined Company M, under Captain
Croller, C2d Pennsylvania Begiment. He took a
fever, and was some months in the hospital, after
which he returned home. He continued rick un
til relieved by death. He was buried On lWednes
day, in the Lutheran cemetery, after the usual
service by tlje Bev. Mr, Schindler.— Standard.
War Meeting at Hollidaysburg.
HoLLiDATgridno, July 30, 1862.
Messes. Editors; —1 herewith send you the
following particulars in regard to the Mass War
Meeting which was announced to come off in this
place last evening, and which did come off i-in
spite of wind and weather."
“At 7 o'clock the bells were rung and the people
began to assemble in the diamond. Van Trims’
Comet Band made its appearance on the ground
and struck up-a popular air, which had the effect
of- drawing the people—that is ihe mate people, tor
there had been no accommodations provided for
the ladies—to a “ focus.” The meeting was or
ganized by calling Gol. B. A. McMurtric to the
chair, assisted by a number of Vice Presidents and
Secretaries. After a few appropriate remarks,: the
Chairman introduced John Scott, Esq., of Hunt
ingdon, who addressed the people in his usual for
cible style, although frequently interrnpted by show
ers ot rain, which had the effect of dampening the
clothes but not the patriotism of bps hearers. (In
; fact, Messrs. Editors, the only thing that teUt
dampen a man's patriotism now-a-days, is, to re
quest his signature to a muster-roll.) After Mr.
Scott had concluded liis remarks, Kev. Schindler, of
the Lutheran Church of this place, was called upon
the stand, but before he had got ftiiriy under way,
it was deemed advisable to adjourn to the Court
House, inasmuch as the elements gave unmistaka
ble evidence of an approaching storm. As soon «s
it was decided to act upon that suggestion, the
prevalent idea Seemed to be “ the best fellow first.”
On arriving at the Court House the doors were
found locked, and, as it was some five or ten min
utes before the keys were prodneed, the crowd ■
packed into the hall so tight that it was with diffi
culty the doors could be opened at all. They were
opened, however, and the audience comfortably
seated. Rev. Schindler then proceeded with his
remarks, at the conclusion of which a number of
resolutions were submitted by Aug. Landis, Esq.,
from the Committee appointed for that purpose.—
Hon. S. Calvin then offered one or moreresolu
tions, approving the coarse of our County Com
missioners, who, yesterday, negotiated a'loan of
$20,000 for the purpose of paying to each Blair
County Volunteer a bounty of $25, for nine months
service, $3O for one year’s service, and $5O for
three years service. Ail of which were unanimously
adopted. Mr. Miles, of Huntingdon, then ad
dressed the meeting. He was followed by Lieut.
Hopkins, in his usual rough-hewn but whole-souled
style. Hon. S. S. Blair, then answered to the call.
He reiterated the opinion expressed by Hon. I*- W.
Hall, at the meeting in your town, that if we did
not fiy to the rescue, and that speedily, we might
expect the war at our own firesides in less than
thirty days! Can it be ? Well, he ought to know.
(But it won’t be so if we do our duty, lam en
deavoring to do mine—reader, are yout)
Jno. Williamson, of Huntingdon, followed Mr.
Blair, in a speech which was appreciated by the
audience. His successor on the stand was Jacob
Creswell, Esq,, formerly of Huntingdon. The
old gentleman being fond of singing, concluded
his remarks with that good old song, “The Star
Spangled Banner,” somewhat parodied to suit the
times. The Band did good service in the way of
keeping up the music between times.. Everything
passed off smoothly, and it was 11 P. M. or after,
before the meeting adjourned. UNO.
Editorial Visi to ns. — On Saturday morning
last, we had a pop visit from our neighbor of the
Lewisiown Democrat , H. W. Fry finger, but he
scarcely remained long enough for us to get a fair
glimpse of his countenance, or exhibit our “Show”
to his or oiir own satisfaction. Make arrangements
to call earlier and stay longer next time, Harry.
Scarcely had the door closed on Harry, ere we
were greeted with a wag of the paw from our
genial, good-looking cotemporay, James A. Camp
bell, of the Westmorelaiid Rqmblican, Greensburg.
He, too, came to sec our “show" and we took
pleasure in showing it oft’ and putting him, as we
fancied, entirely in love with it. Jim is an open,
frank, loyal, Administration and war supporting
Democrat, who is an honor to his profession, and
is universally respected by his brethren of the quill.
County Tueasuber.—Jim Cramer, the
“ model conductor” leaves the railroad track to
day and immediately takes the track as an Inde
pendent Candidate for County Treasurer, He
will make a most obliging, attentive, and careful
officer, and we do not know a Hollidaysbnrger
whom we would rather meet in the Treasurer’s
Office. Jim has ahostof friends in all parties who
will cast aside party predilections* to give him
a helping hand. He is Union to the core, just
the kind we want, and a good business man, who
will take care of all the funds which fall into his
bands, though they won’t remain there very long.
Hurrah for the “ Model Conductor.”
Religious.—The announcement that the Rev.
A. K. Bell would preach in the Baptist church in
this place, on next Sabbath, is recalled. Owing to
business of importance he cannot be here. He will*
however, be here and preach on Sabbath week,
August 10th. The usual services will be held
next Sabbath by Rev. A. H. Scmbower, the
stated Pastor.
P. S.—We learn from the Huntingtingdon pa
pers that Rev, A, H. Sembower, has accepted a
call from the Baptist congregation of Huntingdon,
in connection with the church in this place, and
will divide his time equally between the two ap
pointments.

gy The following lines were written by a soldier
in the hospital at New Haven, who lost his leg
on the battle of Fair Oaks i
l-e-o os Mt LEO.
Good leg, thou wast a faithful friend,
And truly hast thou duty done;
I thank thee most that to the end
Thou didst not let this body run.
Strange paradox! that in the fight
Where I of thee was thus bereft,
I lost my left leg for the Bight,”
And yet the right’s the one that’s left.
But while the sturdy stump remains ,
I may be able yet to patch it,
For even now I’ve taken pains
To make a l-e-o to match it.

Thew Cana and Jara, being perfectly elmple in their ar
rangement, and requiring no cement or solder to make

THEY POSSESS THE FOLLOWING ADVANTAGES:
let. All that is required after the fruit has been put in
hot. Is simply to screw the top down tightly. *
They can be opened by a single turn of the cover,
and the contents taken out in one-fourth the time required
by other cans.
3d. Besides thoir simplicity and ease of adjustment, and
impossibility of stoppers blowing out, they show at all times
the exact condition of the fruit, hy simply looking at the
top of>the cover; if the gum is concave the fruit Is good;
if convex, the fruit la going to spoil, but will always show
itself in time to be saved.
Directions.
Heat the Jan. or p:ace an iron spoon in them while fill
ing, which will! avoid cracking. After the Jars are fell,
take out the spoon or iron, and screw down the cap tight.
Care should be taken to replace the same covers on the
same Jars from which they were taken.
To restore the gums that have been used, to their origi
nal shape, put them in hot water for one hour.
